310 CAPE BAY TO CAPE BAULD. 



western part; the width decreases to 200 yards at the Narrows, but 

 expands northeastward of the Narrows to 600 yards; the shallow 

 basin at the head is f mile wide. 



There are two conspicuous landslips in the red earth cliff on the 

 shore of a cove at the bend of the southern side of Goose arm. 



A shoal bank extends from the landslips, increasing gradually to 

 ^. mile in breadth off the entrance to Big Barasway. 



Several large streams flow into the head of Goose arm, but boats 

 can not approach their mouths until half flood. 



Rag-Ian head is a gray cliff', 1,080 feet high, rising almost perpen- 

 dicularly from the water on the western side, and in slopes from Big 

 Barasway to the southward. 



The Narrows, between Raglan head on the eastern side and the 

 end of the smooth slope of a peaked hill 611 feet high, on the north- 

 western side, are rather more than 200 yards wide, but banks extend- 

 ing from both shores reduce the navigable breadth to 100 yards ; the 

 bank from Raglan head falls suddenly to the channel, in which there 

 is a least depth of 4| fathoms. 



The summit of the Sugarloaf, 828 feet high (over the head of 

 Goose arm), in line with the northern ends of William AVheeler 

 point and Raglan head, bearing 50°, leads between the shoals on 

 either side until the landslip in the cove south west ward of Big Bara- 

 sway entrance is in line with the bowlders on the western side of 

 Raglan head, bearing 202° ; then steer for the middle of the arm. • A 

 house stands on the northern side of the Narrows. 



Penguin cove, on the northern side of Goose arm, eastward of 

 Penguin head, its eastern entrance point, is clear of shoals. 



Anchorage can be obtained in 14 fathoms water at 300 yards from 

 the head of this cove, but the holding ground is not good. 



Penguin head, dividing Goose and Penguin arms, is the western 

 end of a flat-topped, isolated, and bare gray hill 1,020 feet high, on 

 which are a few trees ; it is bold-to. 



Penguin arm (formerly Penman arm) extends from Penguin 

 head northeastward 1^ miles, and thence east-northeastward nearly 2 

 miles; the water in it is deep, and it is clear of shoals. There is no 

 secure anchorage for large vessels in this arm, though schooners 

 seeking bait anchor in the bends of the shore. 



The north shore of Middle arm rises generally in gray cliffs 

 fronting densely wooded hills, and there is deep water at a few yards 

 off it. 



Old Woman head, a mountain 1,020 feet high, in the peninsula 

 separating Middle and North arms, and about midway between them, 

 falls in a steep cliff to the southward, and sharply to the northward ; 

 it shows well over the lower ranges.
